Huh?! I have only a vague recollection about setting up an AirPort Base  
Station with DSL (on both occasions, it turned out I was just outside  
of the allowable distance), but I don't remember it having been as  
complex as you describe. Those values should be automatically assigned  
if you connect using DHCP. (I had a set-up similar to this one on both  
occasions before going with a Cable Modem.)

You'll also want the document on designing AirPort Networks for OS 9 at

connecting wired and wireless computers.)
